Beautiful falls. 10 minute walk to the first one, and then you can keep going. Well maintained trail.

Fun trail with some challenging footing throughout. Was slightly muddy when I went and there was plenty of underbrush, so be sure to wear adequate pants and shoes for rougher terrain.

Good short hiking place suitable for both summers and snow seasons. Quite clean & peaceful so kindly keep it that way.

Was not the easiest trail we hiked, however we are only casual hikers. Trails were well marked, we followed the yellow trail down to the middle falls, then up the blaze orange trail to the scenic overlook.

Questions & Answers

are pets (dogs) allowed? on leash only? or free?

If your dog is a good listener and good off leash then there is no reason they can't be off leash. Just like with any trail, use common sense and hook them up when you pass other dogs just in case. They can obviously go in the swimming holes and stuff and would probably want to be off leash there. I've only encountered courteous dog owners on this trail so I wouldn't be worried about it.
